- A 009 narrow gauge review of 'Charles' - Bachmann's new Mainline Hunslet in the Penrhyn Lined Black livery.
Extended Running Session: • Gofod Tynn - DCC Sound...

Today we're heading back to the world of 009 narrow gauge model railways for a locomotive review I've been waiting a while to do! This is the new Mainline Hunslet model from Bachmann - a surprise 009 release made at the end of last year and, like their previous narrow gauge models, Bachmann have once again pulled out all the stops.
I'm taking a look at the 'Charles' in the Penrhyn Lined Black livery and to make things even better this gorgeous 009 model is sound fitted too! It even features a working firebox LED, a feature which I believe is a first for a 009 RTR model. Of course this locomotive has a lot to live up to but with the general success of Bachmann's narrow gauge range, this looks like it's sure to another winner.

Thanks for watching 🚂
Yay, more 009, my favourite gauge!!!!!
Please do more 009 related things, you do them so well.
I've definitely got some more ideas for 009 videos which I'll be doing once I've got the 00 gauge layout finished. Thanks for watching 😃
What a great little loco!
It's great isn't it! Thanks for watching 😃
Nice little model. Thanks for sharing it with us. Good sound too. Looks great on your layout.
GOD BLESS from America
🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖
It does look good running round Gofod Tynn! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching 😃
Excellent model review !! Bachmann really produced a quality show piece 😊 .
Yeah all of their narrow gauge range have been brilliant but this does feel like they stepped up another level. Thanks for watching 😃
Really nice looking, and well running model, and you did a great job reviewing it. I just wish Bachmann would keep the prices down so the hobby stays affordable…
I think we have to appreciate the fact that 009 is still very much a niche scale and Bachmann won't be able to sell as many of these as a standard 00 loco (for example) so that does push the price up. The upside is that they've crammed in as many features as a possible to make it worth that price and it's not that much more expensive than recent N Gauge releases. Thanks for watching 😃
@@ThatModelRailwayGuy yes I definitely agree with you on that, but in general Bachmann’s prices (and Hornby’s) as of late have been crazy high, and it’s getting to the point where I feel as if I’m not going to be able to afford the hobby in the near future. This is a great model though, that is not at all what I was trying to get at.
it's gorgeous. Maybe you need to make a Steamer Trunk layout next! 😊✔
Glad you enjoyed it! I'm not entirely sure what the origin of this trunk/suitcase is as I found it on the street. That would certainly be cool though. Thanks for watching 😃
@@ThatModelRailwayGuy I was thinking about one of those big trunks that people sometimes use as coffee tables. I was imagining a multi level layout. Perhaps my imagination gets carried away sometimes 😄
Wonderful and very tempting too
It's a beautiful little model isn't it! Bachmann are doing a very good job of making 009 look attractive at the moment. Thanks for watching 😃
Nice to see OO9 scale stuff. One thing I would Love to see is a Big OO Scale layout with an OO9 scale layout with it.
Also, the Penrhyn Mainline Class (Which is this locomotive being reviewed) is the basis of one of my Thomas OC’s.
Yeah it is nice to see the two gauges together. I've definitely seen a large O gauge layout with a O-16.5 narrow gauge line at an exhibition, but I'm not sure if I've seen anything like that in 4mm at an exhibition yet. Thanks for watching 😃
A beautiful little model . I love the glowing fire box .
It’s a nice little feature isn’t it and a first for a 009 loco as well! Thanks for watching 😃
Looks terrific and so good on the layout
It’s a beautiful loco isn’t it and runs brilliantly too! Thanks for watching 🤩
Wow, what a beauty from Bachmann. Remember when many of those separate detail parts would be molded into the boiler as one part? Not any more! Even the piping, while outsized, would likely be far more work than it would be worth to correct. One part would affect another, then another and so on. All in all, a great addition to the roster. Terrific review, as always.
Oh absolutely, we've come a long way even in just the last 5-10 years alone. It wasn't that long ago that Bachmann had a reputation for creating fairly simple models with high price tags - the later may still be true but the quality and finesse of the models has come on in leaps and bounds in recent years. Thanks for watching 😃
I have one of these, it's one of my favorites, great runner and a lovely model.
Awesome, yeah I definitely agree with you on that! Great model from Bachman and really nice to see them supporting 009 with such passion. Thanks for watching 😃
It is a lovely little loco, bachmann are really doing 009 justice, looks great, sounds grea and most importantly it runs really well 😀
Absolutely! I know Peco and Heljan were really the ones who got the ball rolling with RTR 009, but Bachmann are really flying the flag for it and knocking it out of the park! Thanks for watching 😃
I have always loved hunslets not to long ago I went on holiday to Ffestiniog and see Blanche and he is a mainline hunslet and I saw welsh pony
Yep Blanche and Linda are the two mainline hunslets at the Ffestiniog, admittedly much altered from their original look. It seems likely that Bachmann will do them both as models in the future though if the diagrams in the instruction booklet are anything to go by 😉 Thanks for watching 👍
So high detailed little loco 😮
They're incredible aren't they! Really great to see Bachmann going all in on 009 like this. Thanks for watching 😃
@@ThatModelRailwayGuy thankyou sir for your response‚ I want to add this loco in my collection but I couldn't find it on HO scale
I have the 'Blanche' and the 'Linda'. Wonderful engines! They will tolerate very sharp curves that the other larger engines will fail to negotiate.
P.S. I noted some 'cogging' on your engine as it rounded some of the curves around 10:19....I had that with my Linda out of the box especially when going in reverse around curves. I found that some careful application of silicion oil to the connecting rod big ends and piston slides freed it up very nicely.
Absolutely, being 0-4-0s they do very well with the sharp curves! I don't actually think it's cogging though, it's due to my poor track laying as several locos have trouble here! 😅
There's a bit of kink in the line to accommodate the point which I suspect isn't perfectly level either. In comparison, on the opposite side of the layout the other curve is much smoother and the loco didn't have any trouble here at all. Thanks for watching 👍
I managed to get my sound fitted model for only £225.
Nice, it depends on which retailers you get them from. I bought mine when they were first released but I think some places have them discounted further now that they've been out a while. Thanks for watching 😃
Only!?
@@breakthru7608 For a sound fitted model in a niche scale that is quite reasonable. Purchase is not mandatory of course.

just seem the real thing at Penrhyn castle
Awesome! Linda and Blanche are both in working condition at the Ffestiniog railway too but heavily modified so it's cool that you got to see Charles in it's closer to original condition. Thanks for watching 😃
Ordered a “Charles” & a “Blanche” in current condition today. Left a pretty big bullet hole in my debit card but hey.
Awesome, both fantastic models... I may have picked up a Linda a while back myself even though there's no way it'll run on my tight curves! Beautiful models all round though. Thanks for watching 😃
Lovely model indeed! As it should be for the price. However, no crew? That's pretty sad, given the open cab. BTW, your line, in Wenglish, ought to be pronounced Govvod tun'. But it's your track - you can call it what you like.
It's only the preservation model of Linda that has an open cab from what I can see. Modelu do make a crew set though which is very nice.
Yes I've had lots of comments on the pronunciation of the name, both online and at exhibitions. So far no-one has given me a consistent answer yet so I've pretty much given up trying to get it right at this point 😅 Thanks for watching 👍
@@ThatModelRailwayGuy Well, if you ask a Welsh speaker, they'll likely tell you that 'gofod' - pronounced 'govvod' means 'space' as in space to do things, and 'tynn' is not Welsh at all. Welsh words don't end in double consonants. If you are looking to use a word for 'narrow', then that is 'tenau', pronounced 'ten-eye'.
@@tacfoley4443 Like I said, I've been told several different things by several different Welsh speakers at this point... though I'll admit being told "tynn" isn't even a word is a new one this time.
Wonder if Hornby will jump on the 009 bandwagon, and then mess it up somehow
I highly doubt it. Hornby have gone for TT in a big way and that is their 009 equivalent. Never say never but I can’t see it happening any time soon. Thanks for watching 😃
